So I think I'm understanding the MCDU enough to fiddle around with taking off from airports other than the tutorial, my only problem is, the plane doesn't begin to lift off until its off the runway, what am I doing wrong? My last takeoff speed was at 197, even though the highest V speed was 172, what's the deal?

Use the correct T/O trim

Hi 'Dragonmount',Just a friendly reminder: Forum rules require your name on all posts. Most of us do this via the signature, perhaps yours might have dropped off in the forum changeover.As mentioned, certainly make sure first of all that the trim setting matches that on the flight management takeoff page.If that doesn't fix it, come back here and I'll run through some troubleshooting with you.Mark
